Takayama Päiväretket

always a joy to join the tour, our 3rd time in 3 seasons. love this tour, we had an overlooking view stop, the bus also dropped us off to the top for the shirakawago landscape and ample time to roam around takayama and shira. the driver is great. our tour guide, ms Jane Geng, was very informative, patient, attentive and speaks english to chinese fluently

Takayama ja Shirakawa-go -päiväretki oli aivan mahtava! Vaikka en saanut sähköpostia tapaamispaikasta ja matkanjohtajan tiedoista edellisenä päivänä, löysin matkanjohtajan tapaamispaikalta aamulla ja ilmoittautumistiedot olivat oikein, joten päiväretki toteutui. Sää oli tänään erinomainen, kuljettaja ajoi tasaisesti ja sujuvasti, ja matkanjohtaja hallitsi aikataulun hyvin. Hän antoi myös ystävällisesti Takayaman ja Shirakawa-gon matkareittikartat, mikä säästi paljon aikaa, jonka olisin muuten käyttänyt reitin selvittämiseen. Vietimme 90 minuuttia Takayamassa aamulla ja 90 minuuttia Shirakawa-gossa iltapäivällä, mikä oli riittävästi aikaa kävellä Shirakawa-gon näköalapaikalle. Valitsin lounaan sisältävän retken, ja lounasaika oli 40 minuuttia. Ruoka oli jo valmiina ravintolassa saapuessamme, ja matkanjohtaja oli ystävällisesti järjestänyt istumapaikat, kaikki oli erittäin hyvin järjestetty. Päivän retki päättyi takaisin Nagoyan asemalle klo 18.00, ja liikenne oli erittäin sujuvaa. Tämä oli toinen kerta, kun osallistuin Klookin päiväretkelle, ja olen ollut erittäin tyytyväinen molempiin kertoihin.

Cici oli loistava opas, hän puhui sujuvasti kolmea kieltä ja antoi meille vapauden seurata häntä tai tutkia paikkoja itse. Gujo Hachimanissa tuntui hieman kiireiseltä, mutta muuten meillä oli runsaasti aikaa tutkia. Tällaisella kiertueella matkustaminen on paljon halvempaa kuin yksin matkustaminen.

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Tour is one of the best tours you can get in Nagoya. The tour consists of going to Takayama with some guided excursions. The orientation while inside the bus with the maps provided by the guide was enough for us to be well-guided with the best places to go in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. This tour provided observation deck access, which allowed us to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The tour in Takayama is one of the best tours we had since we were able to roam freely. In Shirakawa-go, we were also able to roam freely.

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

It’s our first international trip and we don’t regret availing this tour package as we really enjoyed the places we’ve been to. Maxwell is very patient as he needs to speak two languages (korean english). He’s very accommodating and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the history of each places. The travel was very smooth and safe. We really appreciate his effort for dropping us by a shoe shop after the tour. Will definetly look for him again when we come back to explore more places in Japan.

the most beautiful place I have been to in Japan. the beginner/first time visitor trek allotted 1.5hrs is more than enough time to take photos/videos along the ways and reach the Bridge where restaurants are. you can have lunch here. try the apple pie and apple ice cream.

I highly recommend using the hotel transfer service, especially when traveling with elderly family members and children. The service provider was very thoughtful in asking about our needs and offered direct pick-up and drop-off at the hotel entrance. Because we had a stroller, they even upgraded our vehicle. Our driver, Mr. Lin, was also very friendly, and his driving skills were excellent and safe. The entire trip to our destination took about two hours, which was just right for us to enjoy some free time before meeting back at the drop-off point for our return. Overall, I highly recommend this service.

Kiitos, Lee, ammattitaitoinen matkaoppaamme. Kierros oli mahtava ja ehdottomasti hintansa arvoinen! Shirakawa-go ja Takayama ovat ehdottomasti näkemisen arvoisia. Ainoa negatiivinen asia tällä kierroksella oli, että muutama vieras ei saapunut ajoissa. Siitä huolimatta nautimme kierroksestamme.
